backstage at Rodarte

Year of the Monkey
Gong Hey Fat Choy. This means Happy New Year (Cantonese). Chinese New Year officially starts on February 8, 2016 and ends January 27, 2017. The monkey is the 9th animal of the 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac cycle.
If you are a monkey?
You are characterized as lively, quick-witted, curious, innovative and mischievous, but it is also believed to be one of the most unlucky years in the Chinese calendar. The general image of people in this zodiac sign is of always being smart, clever and intelligent, especially in their career and wealth.
In addition, their gentleness and honesty bring them an everlasting love life. Although they were born with enviable skills, they still have several shortcomings, such as an impetuous temper and a tendency to look down upon others.
